The real power-play going on behind the US presidential campaign

Re: "US presidential candidates insult the intelligence", Letters, August 15.

The presidential candidates might insult voters’ intelligence, as HHB claims, but I prefer to think of the campaign as a clever decoy. While the hoi polloi is kept happy watching the debates, keeping up with the Karsdashians and taking selfies, real power works behind the scenes to enslave the world by blackmailing countries to sign the secret Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement. Who cares whether Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton or Rand Paul gets elected?
